Bachelor of Information Studies (Honours)

What is this course about?

CSU's Bachelor of Information Studies (Honours) is designed to provide students with the opportunity to develop expertise in research methods and data analysis, study in depth a topic in the field of information studies which is of particular interest to them, and complete a dissertation in their field of interest.

About the course

The course prepares graduates for entry to higher degree research courses and provides them with the necessary research skills, knowledge and attitudes to achieve this goal. Students will develop an advanced level of knowledge in their chosen area of specialisation and further develop their verbal and written skills for advancement to higher level studies and research.

While the course has a distinct structure, it also has the flexibility to meet the differing needs of students wishing to specialise in different areas. Students may commence studies at the beginning of the academic year or in mid-year subject to places being available. Our students select from full-time and part-time study options to fit in with work and lifestyle commitments. The Honours course typically includes a substantial research project.

Academic expectations

For each 8 point subject at CSU, students should normally expect to spend between 140-160 hours engaged in the specified learning and assessment activities (such as attending lectures or residential schools, assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, assignments or examinations). The student workload for some subjects may vary from these norms as a result of approved course design.

Students will be assessed on the basis of completed assignments, examinations, workplace learning, or other methods as outlined in specific subject outlines.

Where applicable, students are responsible for travel and accommodation costs involved in workplace learning experiences, or attending residential schools (distance education students).

Expectations relating to academic, workplace learning, time and cost requirements for specific subjects are provided in the subject abstracts and in course materials.
